Kearney Funeral Services

n October of 2020 our brother was admitted to the hospital in Vancouver and passed away a few days afterwards. Can you imagine no family members in Vancouver all of us here in Ontario, the covid pandemic preventing us from being there. Our bother warned us do not come it is not safe. "I will worry about you.' We are a big family from Newfoundland originally and we were with our brother through conference call right to the end. I did a google search and was looking for a family owned funeral home. I checked the reviews and got a good vibe. After discussing Kearney with my siblings and children we went Kearney. I called Kearney and was connected to Matt Kaiser. He immediately offered his condolences and offered to help us make those last decisions for our brother. Little did we know what a wonderful connection Matt Kaiser would turn out to be. Kearney and Matt did an incredible job of making all the arrangements. Long distance removes the personal touch that you get form being there. At this difficult time, Matt represented our family and made us feel like we were there. Matt you went above and beyond to help us. We will not forget this. From the bottom of our hearts Don Corbett's family thanks you. As Newfoundlanders we offer you this "if you find yourself in the Province of Newfoundland at some time in the future, please let us know in advance as an arrangement will be made to have you made an honorary Newfoundlander". Thank you so much Matt.

I would like to commend Samuel Li and Alicia for the amazing work they have done for us. Not only have they shown a great deal of professionalism through diligently following up all the little important details of the organization of the funeral, memorial and burial services, but a great deal of respect. We never felt compelled to pay for things we did not need. We wanted a simple but elegant service, and that was exactly what they did for us. They are real gems. Thank you for the beautiful way you have accompanied us in this moment of trial. Even though we were not of close acquaintances, we felt like we were treated as friends.

When your parent passes away your mind goes blank....you’re ready but you’re never ready.

The moment I made the phone call in the middle of the night to Kearney‘s Funeral Home they calmly professionally took over - I just felt the pressure and stress just melt off my shoulders.

The next morning Athena, the operations manager, contacted us and within a few days everything was planned and all we had to do was concentrate on our family and friends.

I can’t stress enough how easy it was to let them take over, always respecting our wishes and left you feeling proud that you had done your best for your parent.

Thank you Athena and your amazing staff.

Kearney Funeral Services made the unpleasant experience of arranging my father's cremation as simple and as painless as I could possibly have hoped for. I worked with Matt Kaiser, who was patient, professional, and accommodating throughout the process. He helped me to honor my late father's wishes, and I'm extremely grateful for that. I also found Brionney's supportive and understanding presence at reception invaluable. Thank you both!
